As a young man, Kelvin Knight Hackleberry proved to be the Roundear of the Prophecy: he liberated his ownKingdom of Rud from the cruel usurper Zoanna, and then went on the defeat the evil King Rowforth in the alternate world of Rud.

But now Zoanna and Rowforth have joined forces to take revenge on Kelvin - and they intend to have it through his unborn child. Kelvin's beloved Heln lies helpless in the prison Zoanna and Rowforth have built for her, while Klevin is trapped in a distant Frame World, a captive of the dread Chimaera.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
